 IN OTHER PLACES.

In South Glastonbury and Cromwell it was one of the most violent on record Acres of corn and tobacco were knocked down and beaten in the dirt, and there was heavy hail which cut the tobacco to pieces. Several large trees were blown down, and the river road in South Glastonbury was so washed as to be impossible for teams It was noted that in South Glastonbury the destructive wind was from the south, and in Cromwell, across the river, it was from the north, indicating a rotary motion about this region, such as must probably have been de- veloped at other places, judging from the contrary directions of clouds as watched at different points of the horizon. It is proba- ble that further damage will be reported from this region and from the north.

ever the nature of the disease is with which
herself and daughter are afflicted, she Is
positive it is the effect of poison.
About four years ago they both ate OF a
| Brazilian plant which is very poisonous. IN
that country they have a root which much
resembles a potato, but the effects OF winch
on the human system are deadly One OF
these roots was cooked by mistake, and the
woman and her child partook of portion
! of the dish before the error was discovered
They afterward became sick. The disease
seemed to take a deeper and deeper hold,
until they were reduced to such straits that
it was determined to send them both to tins
country for medical treatment. They have
relatives in this city, and to them they
came about two years ago, and here they
have lived ever since.
Mrs. Miranda says that she has been I'M
der the care of DIR. Van Arlingen, but was
never told the exact nature of her disease.
She does not know now positively just what
it is Her condition and that of her child,
she said, has much improved since they
have been here, and about three weeks ago
she determined to return to her home in the
city of Para. She has two grown-up chill
dren there, one of whom is a young Wo-
man who is married, while the other
is a boy 10. who is learning to be a pilot.
Her youngest child, about 5 years old, is
also there. All these are perfectly healthy,
and have never displayed any syptoms OF
the disease.
Mrs. Miranda left this city, and went to
New York, where she took passage on
steamer for Brazil but she did not know
the name of the vessel. Hardly had they
got well out at sea when the ships physl-
clan found out what was the matter with the
two passengers, and the Captain determined
to land them at the first opportunity. The
vessel put in at Newport News, and the
sorely afflicted woman and her little girl
were obliged to dlsembark, being told that
under the circumstances it would be impos-
sible to put them ashore in a Brazilian port.
She determined at once to come back to this
city, and arrived at Broad street station
yesterday morning. Heartbroken at not
being permitted to go back to her home,
filled with misgivings that she would not
see her other children any more, and know
ing that she had disease, whatever it was,
which would cause all to shun her, she con-
Guided not to 60 back to her friends, but
to let the health authorities attend to her
case.
The fact that lepers had been in this city
was made known to the Board of Health on
Nov. l, although they had probably left at
that time. DR.. Ford, who was then seen,
gave it as his opinion that leprosy was not
contagious unless person came into actual
contact with the sufferer or handled the
clothing. In his report of the cases to the
County Medical Society, DR.. Van Arlingen
says: "Leprosy is indeed contagious in my
belief, and in that of the majority of OBJ
servers, but contagious in a slow and uncer-
tain manner"

ON RAIL AND cRossTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway

Circles.
The name of the Blue Springs, Orange
City and Atlantic (Fla) railroad is to be
changed to the Atlantic and Western.
w. ]. Craig, Assistant General Freight
and Passenger Agent, of the Port Royal amp
| Western Carolina railway, was in the city
yesterday.
Supts. Starr, of the Port Royal and West

The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Cheraw and Salisbury Is. Cl Railroad
Company was held Thursday The election
of officers to serve the ensuing year resulted
as follows: A. F. Ravenel, President; Di-
rectors: r. r. Bridgers, B. F. Newcomer,
w. c. Coker, j. A. Leak, John Robinson,
H. b. Plant, H. Walters, j. +. Divine, W.

The new Atlantic and Gulf (Fla.) is to
be surveyed at once, and the Orlando re-
porter says it will start on the east side of
the st. Johns river, about opposite Jack
sonville, crossing the river at Mount Royal,
and leading westward for Apopka City,
through which it will run. From thence
the course will be southwest, until Naples,
on the Gulf coast, is reached, which will
probably be the terminus of the road.
Inc annual meeting of the stockholders OF
the Cheraw and Darlington Railroad Com
pany was held at Florence, S. c., on Thurs
day. The annual reports of the company's
officers were submitted and accepted. A
dividend of 81 80 per share on the 7,S42
shares of the companys stock was declared
payable on and after Dec Is, 1887. The
following officers were unanimously elected
to serve through the ensuing year: A. f.
Ravenel, President Directors: w. L. Wal
ters, B. +. Newcomer, r. r. Bridgers,
Thomas Frost, w. G. Coker, W. A. CARR
gan, l. l. Lucas and H. d. Malloy.
The Tavares fla Herald says that those
who have sneered at Maj. Abrams railroad
schemes have accused him of promising to
build railroad to every mans backdoor"
However this may be, he is surpassed in
this respect by the projectors of the Lees
burg and Lake Region railroad, the scope
of which is thus outlined by the
Commercial 1.-The scheme contem-
plates a railway connection for Leesburg
with all parts of the lake region. The road
is to encircle Lake Griffin and pass south
from here along the western and southern
shores of Lake Harris to Astatula, with
possible extensions to Montverde, on Lake
Apopka, and Clermont and Minneola, on
Lakes Minnehaha and Minneola.n This
caps the climax of all proposed railroads,
and, in its proposed tortuous windings, re-
minds one of the nursery tain of cars
which runs around all over the floor, with
no definite route or location in view.

LEPERS IN PHILADELPHIA.
A Woman and Her Daughter Afflicted
With the Disease.
Ffom the Nep York Sttn


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20.-The two lepers,
mother and daughter, about whom there
has been so much comment during the past
two weeks, came into the office of the Board
of Health yesterday of their own accord,
and were sent out to the municipal hospital
for contagious diseases i'll the hospital am
bulance When the unfortunate woman
raised her veil her face presented dreadful
appearance. 1t looked as though it had been
scalded The skin was drawn and contract
ed and scanned with wrinkles. The hands
and arms which she displayed were covered
with shiny skin, which was also cracked
and scanned. The little girl, who is only
about II years old, did not seem to be as
bad as the mother, although her face
showed plainly that she was suffering from
some skin disease. Both mother and
daughter were neatly dressed.
The woman said that her name was Isa-
bella Miranda. She declined to give any
definite information about her family.
When the poor woman told her story. her
voice choked sometimes by sobs, and tears
flowed from her eyes. She is native of
this country, and about twenty years ago
married a native of Brazil They lived
here for ten years and then went to Brazil,
taking their two children with them. Since
that time they have lived in that country
most of the time in Para. Two other chill
dren were born to them. The woman's hus-
band, who died several years ago, was Cap

Women as Inventors.

From the Americas; Manufacturer
Up to Dec. ID, 1886, there had been granted
TO women by the United States letters
patent for 1885 inventions. This is doubt
less good many more patents than the pub
lie had thought had been granted TO women;
yet there really should have been more, and
there would have been if women would
think more. But then to do that they would
have to talk less, which could not be thought
of for moment. Seriously, the household
and other branches of women's work fur
nish a large field for the exercise of their in
ventive genius, and it begins to look as if
they would work it better in the future than
they have in the past Neither should it be
overlooked that they have invented many
useful things that have never SEEM kthe
patent office, and of which the world has
never heard Woman is not in the habit of
proclaining her achievements with the blare
OF trumpets.

POOR ROSA MARTENS.
Insane, Married, Insane Again, Re-

Dead.

covered, Deserted by her Husband,
Dead.
From the Ne,o York Sun.
Rosa Martens, a young black-eyed Jewess,
was brought to the insane pavilion of Belle
vue Hospital on Aug. last suffering from
melancholie. She was beginning to inn
prove when, in a few days, an elderly man
came and took her away, contrary to the
advice of the doctors In less than a week
the patient was returned to the hospital by
Frederick Arndt. She said that she had
been married to Arndt three days before
Her disease became more pronounced, and
she tried to choke herself to death. DIR.
Wildman said that under the circumstances
marriage was the worst thing that could
have happened to her.
Arndt is rs years old, and is a broker en-
ployed by Charles Egler, at 255 Third
avenue. Arndt lived with the Eglers, and
according to them was nearly crazed about
his sweetheart. He said that when he was
absent from her she would become uncon-
trollable, but when he was with her she
would be perfectly rational He did not
want to postpone their marriage, on account
of fear of making her condition worse, and
he was afraid of what the consequences
would be if he married her Arndt was
finally convinced that marriage would dis
sipato Rosa's insanity. Marriage had the
contrary effect, and, after being taken back
to Bellevue, Rosa was taken to Blackwelfs
Island Insane Asylum. She improved, and
about five weeks ago Arndt obtained her re-
lease from the asylum and went with her to
board at Philip Bauer's house, 139 East
One Hundred and Tenth street But in three
days, for some unknown reason, he deserted
her. Rosa became respondent. She said
that since her husband had left her she did
not care to live. The Bauers thought of re-
turning Rosa to the asylum, but they felt
| that Arndt might appear any day, and did
| not like to take the step.
She obtained place as nurse in Sixty
| second street on last Friday, but she came
back to the Bauers on Sunday morning very
much discouraged. That evening she was
| found vomiting. Yesterday morning at
J $50 O'Clock Mrs. Bauer took bowl of oat-
meal into Mrs. Arndt's room and found that
she was dead. There were evidences of ar
senical poisoning.
| The case was reported to the East 10th
| street police as suicide. The Bauers say
| that they have not the means to bury Rosa
| They do not know that she has relative or
| friend besides her husband When Arndt
| left his wife, he is reported to have said:
'Y GU shall never see me again. | will
commence new life far away from here"
Rosa was born in Berlin. Previous to her
| insanity she was a saleswoman in picture
store in Ninth street.

The ladies have doubtless read much of
the handsome diamond necklace of Mrs.
Cleveland. and while we wouldn't for a
moment insinuate that any lady envies its
popular pOssessor, still many would take
pleasure IN at least looking at it. A coun-
terpart of this glorious string of gems, with
its lovely and dazzling pendant, can be in
spectid in the jewelry establishment of Mr..
NJ. Sternberg, 157 Broughton street, who
will take pleasure in exhibiting its charms
to every lady who will honor him with
visit. The necklace in question is to be
ratified, and in the interval it can be seen
and inspected as above. Besides the neck
lace, there are still many articles in Mr..
Sternbergs treasure house that are worthy
of a visit, and the proprietor and his atten-
tive statesmen will take especial pains to
show their immense stock of Jewelry, Dia-
monds, Silverware, Art Objects, Bronzes,
etc. There Is no obligation to buy whot-
euer, and Mr.. Sternberg will be equally
happy to show through those who do not
wish to buy as those who do. Everybody
should see the Diamond Necklace, as it is
certainly a superb collection of brilliant
gems Our holiday display is now arranged
for inspection. Respectfully,
